Can people write about 10000 words every day continuously for 10+ years?

Not possible to write so much, as hand gets tired and cramped. Eye sight is blurred. Brain gets tired and foggy.

But some Chinese writers did write more than 10,000 words each day continuous.
The beginning post of this thread is outdated. According to the number 2 guy's own site,
he had written a total of 45.52 million Chinese words in 5369 days.
https://my.qidian.com/author/4362118/
Of course, not all authors could keep up this rate of writing. For example, the number 8 guy, 第八名辰东
had kind of admitted it was tough. He promised to keep 3 episodes a day (about 12,000 words) pace.
But he found himself 泪流满面 after he had finished one day.

A certain author had posted 10 new episodes in a day. (Looks like his upper end.) Total word count is 22619 including punctuation marks per notepad++. My own count is 1380 line * 20 per words per line = 27660 including space.
It took about 100 minutes to perform verbally by at least 2 performers to act out with various male and female voices as well as background noise. So the Chinese audiobook speed is about 226 words per minutes.
In comparison audiobook speed in English is about 150 to 160 per minute.
